JANUARY 2018 - MONTHLY FORECAST FOR CAPRICORN

Dear Capricorns

It is all over the news- your ruler Saturn is back in Capricorn, in his sign of dignity and here to stay for the next 3 years. This homecoming is a big cause for celebration for all of you who have waited for a long 29 years. And to add to this celebration, this New year, the sign of Capricorn is hosting a sort of party, with Pluto, Moon and Mercury, all joining in to welcome Saturn back home, in the third house-this could well be a warm neighborhood affair, or with close friends and siblings especially, playing an important role in the fun.

Since Saturn and Pluto together are involved, we can redefine the word neighborhood to include even neighboring countries to co-operate, and we will see them working together more harmoniously on projects that can have mutual benefit.

This is an especially good time for capital projects requiring co-operation between multiple groups or guilds, building and construction, especially of recreational parks, neighborhood centers and services,  re-building and recycling ( which Pluto is very good at) and for reconnecting on any projects that were left incomplete in previous years, which have to do with learning and teaching. Also for any form of writing, if you are an author or poet, and for matters that need haste and a quick turn around, in such professions as couriers, telecommunications, and the postal service. This influence can feel like there is rather a lot of fuss and attention to something fairly mundane and routine, but this influence will transform the way how something has always been done, usually for the better. This could even be the time that an important invention gets adopted in these areas, thanks to a helpful aspect between Uranus in Aries and Saturn in Capricorn. It could be an innovation of a teaching method which then becomes universally adopted.

CAREER AND MONEY

This month Capricorns, the spotlight is on home, family and people who are really close to you. Having said that, your 5th house of creativity is receiving a lot of dreamy vibes from Neptune and Chiron who are stimulating food for thought on how you could use a compassionate and creative streak to unpackage a great many solutions, or answers. You could be working on a very serious project, one that concerns people's lives or a project which has been going on for a very long time. This is the time to bring these to fruition or if you are a teacher, you could hand them over to those whom you have identified in these past years as deserving of the custodianship of these matters. You yourself will want to rest for a period of time and get started on thinking about how you will spend the next 3 years come July 2018. Cardinal Cancer is on the cusp of the MC and your career is on a good swing right now and all it needs are well-timed actions that you will be ready with come July 2018.

Money wise, income has shifted from solely being part of a flow to a more generative outlook for you. You are thinking about ways to generate it in the future and not merely be a part of an ecosystem that may or may not be sustainable. While you have your thinking hat on, opportunities that come, thanks to Jupiter in the second house should be considered and the benefit of these will help you shore up support for your own ideas, in the near future. Aries on the descendant spells energy and movement for those considering venturing out on their own, promising great adventures, many significant encounters of a lasting nature which will further the ideas you start with. Watery Scorpio hosting Mars and Jupiter in a fixed sign supports your generative and sustainable ideas with its witty and intuitive and energetic beams, while the True Node in Leo emphasizes a positive approach in turn supported by the Ascendant in Libra- bringing balance and harmony to how you perceive yourself and how others see you.

LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS

This is a great time for earthy bonding in relationships. It is a time to come together, to communicate, to use your hands in some way to express what you truly desire and wish to create for yourself. Rituals that involve the body, cleansing, even indulging in earthly treats which are rich and luxurious are in store, in special moments that have been picked out for you. You need to be open in your heart to embrace these things. Its also means your mind is quieter and your senses are perceiving, a time to tune into finer sensibilities. Your attention moves to the magic inherent in all things, but you can be swayed to other people's opinions, which you should be cautious about. It is good to test your ideas but be sure that the ideas that you have carefully built up from the ground are good enough, will stand the test of time and you shouldn't be anxious in any way over how your partnerships will respond to them. It is time to step up when the opportunity arises and take people through your visions and in the meantime, keep working at it diligently, as you do. Timing is very important in relationships and Saturn in Capricorn will teach us all about how being in tune with another is all about being in sync with their psychological time. We will all learn about how this goes a long way in harmonizing communication and bring a magical quality of attunement with our own goals and what is best for us.

Important long term influences here are the cardinal 6 month transit of the Sun through Cancer in 2018. Read more on the specific chart points at cafeastrology.com

THE MUSE OF REVOLUTION: URANIAN TRANSIT MAY 2018

Dear Reader I woke up today after a messy night of disturbed sleep, which at one point had me staring into the figure of a lady in white standing upside down. Now since I work with astral energies a lot, I could recognize that this was Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, (old ruler Saturn). Also represented as the star card in the Tarot. I also must add that I have over the course of my whole life, worked with Uranian energy very closely. Apart from Uranus, we have our asteroid Urania who is considered patron goddess of Astronomy. For those of you don't know, asteroid positions can also be charted using ephemerides that chart their courses. Our dear friend Roderick Kingston who passed away has worked all his life to study asteroids and their energies on the birth chart. Demetra George in her book ' Astrology for Yourself' also details some of the energies of asteroids like Vesta, Juno, Pallas Athene- who all are said to bring finer energies to play in the charts. Coming back to...

OCTOBER 2017 - MONTHLY FORECAST FOR LIBRA

Dear Librans, Hi. As I write this, on a worldly note, many deeply affective changes are afoot in parts of the world. And these movements concern Librans, arguably, to a greater degree than some others ( like our Piscean friends). This also concerns those especially with a Sun, Moon or personal planets like Mars, Mercury, Venus in Libra, with more immediate noticeable effects. Ruler of Libra Venus is a much celebrated planet, for she comes with a mysterious air surrounding her appearance, which anthropologists have documented has changed over the past few centuries. In my 20s, my friend Peta Searle and I used to pour over Anthony Aveni's research in his book Conversing with the Planets: How Science and Myth Invented the Cosmos ,   among other researchers on writers Julia and Derek Parker and the usual textbooks that for part of anyone interested in discovering more about themselves in relation to the cosmos. Aveni's book has radical evidence for various theories abou...

MONTHLY FORECAST FOR JANUARY 2019

Dear Reader A Very Happy Gregorian to you! I am pleased to say that many efforts of astrologers all over the world are beginning to pay off. Time keeping and the art of divination itself has a rich and interesting history. In my insights, I observe that in India, people have always worshipped these gods and continue to do so, without the imperiled status of this profession in other places. Perhaps this is because all the evidence has not been ignored, never been rejected, rather it has been revered, complied and taught. So, as a champion of the study of these sciences, it was interesting to note that schools in India have encouraged the co-relation of geometry with sacred geometry, arithmetic with what adds up to good logic and poetry with the soul. I have been engrossed in reading classics such as the Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse and Creation by Gore Vidal, which outline in great enormous detail, these historical developments of which I refer to here above, in coroboree. If...
